Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1070515A1] A flexible, thin implantable electrode lead can maintain a desired portion of a lead body (14) in a desired shape conforming to a body portion. The lead body (14) includes a conductor coil (30) obtained by helically winding at least one insulation-coated electrical conduction conductor wire, an insulating sheath (32) made of an electrically insulating resin material and covering the outer surface of the conductor coil, and a flexible reinforcing tube (40) formed to deform into a desired shape in the cavity of the conductor coil. <IMAGE>
